Summary: I loved this book!
Review: Emily Chapman is a small-town girl who's never really done anything wild. The 22-year-old works as a waitress in Silver Wolf, Idaho, and has been taking care of her young brother, Corey, ever since their parents died. After being diagnosed with skin cancer, though, she realizes how short life really is. While in Lewiston, she decides to take a chance and is determined to lose her virginity to the handsome stranger who keeps eyeing her from across the bar. James Dalton can't keep his eyes off the cute little blonde in the bar, but he knows if she knew who he really was, she'd run for the hills. James Dalton is a man haunted by his past, a man who fears he has no future. He can't help his attraction to the beautiful Emily, but he's determined to fight it. Good thing he's moving to Silver Wolf, Idaho the next day, a few hours away from this town, and he'd never see the bewitching blonde again... To be honest, when I first read the blurb on the back of the book, I thought that this would be an uncomplicated novel with some sizzle but not much substance. Wrong! I was hooked from the first page, and I was delighted to see a plot that was much more substantial than I thought it would be. Emily had her own secrets to hide, and so did James. I really liked both of the characters; Emily, because she was strong and determined, and James because he was desperately trying to do the right thing by Emily and her brother. I really have a thing for complicated heroes, and I was not disappointed by James. This book is a some-what sequel to "Cherokee Dad" by Sheri Whitefeather. I haven't read that book yet, but I'm ordering it tonight! Another book, "A Kept Woman" by the same author (to be released in April 2004), is going to deal with one of the secondary characters in this book, Zack Ryder. "Cherokee Stranger" certainly stands on its own, and I really enjoyed it. This book wasn't what I expected it to be, and I liked that. I definitely recommend this one!

Summary: It was missing so elements like the main characters
Review: I have read a few of Ms. Whitefeather's series books, but this to me felt lacking the main characters were just there. I don't feel they were developed or even likeable, just there. I liked the secondary characters better. The hero was tormented and we understand why, its spelled out without emotions, the heroine is going through something but instead of digging deeper, with her fear and concern she is just going through the motions and I don't think its because of shock, I just didn't like. I gave it three stars because it takes a lot for me to pick up a book and buy it, so the summary was better than the book itself. I will however keep an eye out for the next story involving a secondary character.

Summary: Storyline info
Review: Spellbound. That was how Emily Chapman felt when her gaze locked with the sensual, black-eyed stranger across the smoky bar. As the jukebox wailed, she knew he was the man, and this was the night. Seduced. What James Dalton felt for Emily Chapman was so hot it should be outlawed. Nothing else mattered but this moment, in this incredibly arousing woman's arms. But he was a man with a lot to hide. And Emily had her own secrets, too. Come tomorrow, they would part as strangers. Unless a chance encounter could turn the past into a future worth fighting for....

Summary: Love on the Run
Review: They meet at a local bar, Emily buys James a drink, one thing leads to another and they end up in a motel room. But when handsome James finds out Emily is a virgin, he turns and runs. Emily is devastated. A few days later, at the café where Emily works, James walks in. He has been hired to work Emily's lady boss's ranch. Emily is embarrassed, but before long James has a change of heart and they get together. Emily is raising her younger brother Corey after the tragic death of her parents. Corey really takes a shine to James and they begin doing things together. Emily sees happiness. Then we find out James is in the witness protection program as he used to work for the mob in Los Angeles. James tells Emily his life story and she wonders how such a gentle man could be a criminal So we wonder, are they going to get together? It is a romance, after all, but you know, I've always had a thing about snitches. Anybody who works for the mob knows what he's doing and if he gets caught, he should just shut up and take his medicine, rather than snitch on others. In my opinion there is nothing lower than doing that, and though Ms. Whitefeather tries to give us good reasons why James does what he does, it just didn't work for me. Bummer I know, but you can't like them all. Plus the plot suffered horribly when we're confronted by two pregnant women on the run, too much, just too much for me. Only three stars, I'm afraid.
